Leave your stilettos at home and strap on some Birkenstock sandals; the hottest event of the spring is not a gala. On June 2, culinary heavy hitters, including Mike Isabella, Bryan Voltaggio and Spike Mendelsohn will serve a family-style feast at an urban farm off K Street.

VIP tables are available for purchase for $600 per person and regular admission is $250. More information.
